Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) has garnered considerable attention from analysts who see it as a strong investment in the gold sector. Many experts highlight its low-cost production capabilities, solid operational performance, and strategic assets located in politically stable regions, mainly Canada. Several analysts have reiterated its status as a top pick, particularly during recent pullbacks in gold prices, presenting an opportunity for investors. Most commentators are optimistic about the long-term outlook for gold, viewing AEM as a reliable option amidst global geopolitical uncertainty and inflation concerns. However, there is also caution regarding short-term fluctuations in gold prices, suggesting that investors may want to wait for attractive entry points or consider trimming their positions after significant gains.

BUY

Reported earnings last night, which beat, though shares are down a bit, but an opportunity. Are well-managed who manage costs (rarely dilute shares with an offering). Also, their geographic footprint is fine, especially after buying Kirkland Lake earlier this years. Mines are in Finland, Australia, Mexico and across Canada, all safe geographies. Diversified portfolio.

TRADE

Decline from 2020 into a big consolidation. Probably not too much lower. Since 2022, it's formed a reverse head and shoulders -- you have a low point, but the low points on either side are higher. Not a bad trading stock between $60-75, so this is the time to buy. 

Trading means smaller amounts, and you can add if it goes above $74-75. Overriding issue with commodity price, be careful. $60 exit strategy. Short-side upside to $71-72, don't expect more until visibility on buyers coming in.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 04/22, Up 16%)

Disappointing that the USD has weakened, but gold stocks have not risen. Doesn't know when. Gold is out of favour. Cryptos has stolen some of its power. He got out of AEM and owns B2Gold now.

DON'T BUY

One of the better companies in the space. He doesn't own them because they're not good businesses over the long term. They don't beat cost of capital regularly, held hostage to commodity price. Better to own a gold ETF.

BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

EPS of $0.8578 beat estimates of $0.7328 and revenues of $2.27B met expectations. The company delivered strong results driven by record quarterly gold production and better-than-expected cost performance. Management reiterated its gold production, cost, and capital expenditure guidance for 2023, expecting to produce 3.24 to 3.44 million ounces of gold with total cash costs per ounce between $840 and $890. It generated strong free cash flows, strengthened its balance sheet by repaying ~$1B of debt, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. These were solid results, and we feel that investors should be pleased with these earnings.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate AEM as a TOP PICK.  As the Odyssey project moves towards underground mining by 2028 they expect annual gold production to grow to more than 500,000 ounces.  It trades at 1.3x book.  Cash reserves are growing, as they retire debt and buy back shares.  We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $52) to $60, looking to achieve $92 – upside potential of 28%.  Yield 2.3% 

(Analysts’ price target is $91.82)
BUY

Very strong gold company.
Excellent track record of capital allocation.
Strong cash flow and balance sheet.
Not a speculative stock - quality long term investment.
Would recommend buying. 

BUY

Pattern of higher highs, and lower lows.
Bullish trend.
Would recommend buying.
Waiting for interest rate cuts before major growth.
Good time to buy.

WAIT

It is a meandering stock which is basing but still needs to break out. The longer the base the better the upside when a stock breaks out.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 28/23, Up 9%)

Recent high in gold prices good for company.
Expecting further gains on stock.
Demand for commodities rising with EV transition.
Enormous growth stock. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 13/22, Up 10%)

US debt crisis means further indebtedness, further pressure on USD, and the defence for that is in gold and silver. One of the best of the gold companies. Central banks are buying all the gold they can possibly get. 

Unspecified

It is one of the best gold companies and is in a good trend to buy some now at around $70. However gold is a tough business to get into and is affected mainly by the U.S. dollar. Gold is better if held for a long time.

WEAK BUY

Do you see gold as an inflation hedge? A chaos hedge? Preserving capital? Nothing wrong with this stock, which trades closely to the price of gold. Or you can buy a gold bullion ETF.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

This Canadian based producer of over 3 million ounces of gold, is the third largest producer in the world.  It trades at 12x earnings and 1.6x book.  Cash reserves are growing as debt is retired and shares are bought back.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 35% of cash flow.  We recommend a stop-loss at $52, looking to achieve $92 -- upside potential of 26%.  Yield 2.1%  

(Analysts’ price target is $91.85)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes business - thinks is a fantastic company.

Not "in season" for investors
Would wait to buy in June.
